Wheelchair Accessible Hunting and Fishing

Hunting and fishing is popular sport for men and women alike, and until recently access to these sports for disabled persons had been difficult if not impossible due to the remote locations involved. This is where the Accessible Canadian Adventures (ACA) has changed this forever. Accessible Canadian Adventures will design and coordinates and arranges hunting, fishing  and wildlife photography adventures specifically for disabled sportsmen and women. Tell them where you want to experience your adventure and what specific hunting/fishing expedition you desire, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Accessible Canadian Adventures specialized network includes the finest outfitters who can provide the wheelchair and able bodied sports person a window of opportunity to hunt big game, fish for their prize catch or film wildlife photography in remote areas of the Canadian wilderness.  There outfitters and guides perform their responsibilities professionally and ethically and clean lodgings with friendly hosts make sure the experience will match your expectations.

If you’re deciding whether these activities are the right activity for you, here are some things to consider:

  • Should you use a manually powered or electronic wheelchair? If you have good upper-body strength, a manual chair might be the right choice. But if you experience pain or are easily tired, an electronic chair might be the better option.
  • Would your hunting experience be enhanced by an all-terrain or off-road style of wheelchair? If so, make sure the wheels and tires are tough enough to handle the terrain.
  • Look into the many kinds of adaptive equipment available, among them trigger adapters, gun rigs, and duck blinds.

    Most people have heard of the bodied action sports such as, skateboarding, snow boarding, BASE jumping, mountain climbing, different types of racing, and many others. Not many people know of sports that are done by disabled action sport athletes. Some sports such as chairing, sit ski, 4 cross, body surfing, power wheelchair racing, and others are starting to gain more attention all over the world.
